Failure to maintain stored fuel and storage tanks could be a disaster waiting to happen.
Site operators rely on the continuity of their electricity supply. Because modern fuel contains lower sulphur content and significantly higher amounts of biodiesel, bacterial and fungal growth are both common in stored fuel. Microbial contamination, known as the diesel bug, is a problem that faces every substation site storing fuel.
Contaminated fuel supplies will result in at best machinery not operating efficiently and at worst in total breakdown. Failure to regularly inspect stored fuel and storage tanks can result in emergency, mission-critical equipment failing, when you need it most.
Andel provides a comprehensive range of oil storage maintenance services including:
Andel has been carrying out oil storage compliance inspections for over 30 years for both public and private sector customers. Andel can ensure that robust pollution prevention measures are in place and your site’s fuel storage is fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
Inspections are carried out by OFTEC registered, qualified technicians and provide detailed reports for all on-site fuel storage equipment.
Andel’s annual oil storage compliance inspections go beyond standard OFTEC recommendations to give you total peace of mind that your oil storage remains compliant with all current regulations.
